Where will be the annotation data stored?
- detaro 10y agoOne of the specs is "Web Annotation Protocol—describes the transport mechanisms for creating and managing annotations in a method that is consistent with the Web Architecture and REST best practices." https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-annotation-protocol-20170223/ https://www.w3.org/TR/2017/REC-annotation-protocol-20170223/ So I guess they imagine you get an account with some service somewhere and then store your annotations there?
- fiatjaf 10y agoWell, I think that is the entire problem.
- detaro 10y agoAn open protocol gives at least a shot for compatible self-hosted/locally running solutions, assuming client makers actually implement it.
- fiatjaf 10y agoYes, ok, you're right. I think, however, that doing that for all the things in the world each people would like to store, is too complicated to be true. I only say that because I was an enthusiast of things like the remoteStorage protocol -- not what it has become actually, but the idea behind it. I would prefer something like remoteStorage to be standardized instead of a different protocol for each thing. Perhaps Urbit is in the same space as remoteStorage, only much more complicated.
